Bird Watching

For the Birds

Half Moon Bay is home to the most breathtaking bird watching in Northern California. Surrounded by California’s Pillar Point Marsh and Pescadero Marsh sanctuaries, a bird watching enthusiast may be able to site hundreds of species in one day. Take your time and enjoy the trails that will lead to tide pools, then look to the sky where you may be able to spot a snowy egret, loons, great herons and many more feathered creatures.
